About Maple butter

Maple butter, also called maple cream, is a spread made by heating and cooling maple syrup under controlled conditions so that fine sugar crystals form. Despite its name, it contains no dairy butter in the conventional preparation.

It is smooth, thick, and spreadable, with a sweet maple flavour and a pale golden to tan colour. It is used on bread, pastries, and other foods. Texture and colour can vary with syrup and preparation, and products sold under the name may differ if additional ingredients are used.
